In 2019, nonitemizers could not add any specific expenses, such as sales tax on new automobile purchases, real property taxes, or medical expenses in excess of 10% of AGI, to their standard deduction. The standard deduction is a fixed amount based on filing status, and taxpayers cannot add specific expenses to it unless specific legislation allows for such additions, which was not the case for the options listed in 2019.
